I assume this subdomain is not being hosted on the same servers as
domain.com (if it is, you just put the name "whatever" in the domain.com
zone file).
In the zone file for domain.com, add NS records that delegate to the
nameservers for the subdomain:
whatever IN NS otherserver.otherdomain.com.
IN NS otherserver2.otherdomain.com.
On those servers, add zones for them in the named.conf files:
zone "whatever.domain.com" {
type [ master | slave ];
file "db.whatever.domain.com";
...
};
